You are able to play them after a while

After a while, in "complicated" music, such as Jazz, you tend to go much more towards arpeggios than scales, since arpeggios have all the important "target" notes of the Harmonic sequence you are soloing over... So you sound much more melodic that way.
Also, Arpeggios, due to their structures, are usually played in one note per string sequences, which allows to play them by "sweep picking" the strings, hence going WAY fast and sounding totally HOT... :)

arpeggios are a pain in the butt at first and tend to stay that way..but ull eventually get the concept..i still havnt..for some reason 5 string arps are easier than 3 string..it should be backwards but its not

if you want to play real fast in a chickin pickin or sweeping stylee arpeggio technique's a must. my own style is a cross between country/folk/classical arpeggioing with jazz/rock style single string runs played with a thumbpick. check out Chet Atkins' back catalogue to see how it's done well.

Hey everyone,
Learning Arppeggios is a good thing, it can help you in changing chord positions too. Single notes, and sweep picking have been mentioned, but if you play them in unison it's a chord.

Rick,
Chicken pickin' is a pick technique, where you push the pick far enough back between the thumb, and index finger that you can mute it a little bit when you pick the string. The technique of using your fingers with a pick has also been referred to as chicken pickin' too. I'm not sure who gets the credit, but it's safe to say it was either Roy Nichols, or James Burton that came up with this. Many guitar greats have used both of these techniques, but it takes a little practice to do it right.

Ditto what Sixpicker & others said...
And I would also add, that arpeggios are just another tool of expression for you to use in your playing. People will often tend to associate arps with the whole "shredder" genre....but in all honesty, having even the most basic grasp of the concept of arpeggios is a very useful tool for you to have at your disposal, regardless of the style you play.
Arpeggios really do get a bit of a bad rap, because of the overuse of them in the rock/metal/shredder genres as a means of launching a bazillion notes at the listener with sweep-picking & what not. But beyond the cliched shred applications, they are extremely useful for working your way around the neck & linking up various scale positions up & down the fretboard, etc...There's really just too many applications to list in a quick, short answer. But suffice it to say, that they are a very useful tool for nearly any style & well worth the time that you put into them.

Cos they sound good and have a wide range of application... learn them for the same reason you learn legatto and alternate picking etc - to make you a better player who can play more variety and more interesting phrases than the standard pentatonic runs.
